A Resolution Worth Keeping

As the clock approached midnight Saturday, I was home watching Mariah Carey’s production snafu on television. Now don’t judge me! Some of you who know me well will recall that I've joined in on some exciting New Year's Eve celebrations in past years.

Philanthropy Is Not Measured by Dollars Alone

Our sons both play high school basketball. Through their experiences we have come to know and love some of the most amazing philanthropists I have ever met. Yes, I have met a lot of great philanthropists in my 22 years in the non-profit sector, but none quite like Jim and Peggy Taylor.

Let’s Celebrate the Winners and What They Stand For!

Spoiler alert! This is not euphoric piling on of post-election elation from a Trump supporter. Nor is it post-mortem chatter about Clinton’s stunning popular vote victory. There is plenty of both going around and I expect most folks are ready to think about something, maybe anything, besides politics for at least a few minutes, days, weeks or even months.

Professional Troublemaking

Speaking out about unjust conditions – to friends, family, on social media – is the American way. Pointing to unfair treatment of individuals, groups, communities, or the environment is an important part of being civically engaged. As a nonprofit leader there is an added obligation to not just speak out, but to advocate and effect change in policy and systems.
